We have cleaning processes in place to clean high touch points more frequently and have provided freely available hand sanitiser.

We have asked team members, service partners and customers to self-isolate if they or someone in their household has symptoms of Covid-19. They are also expected to self-isolate if they or a close contact has had a positive COVID-19 result, or if they have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace.

We have enabled people to check in at our offices, by scanning the NHS track and Trace QR code or providing their details at our receptions.

We are keeping our team, service partners and customers up to date on how we are using and updating our safety measures.
